Description

1 Specifications INTEGRATED INFLATABLE FOR USE IN WATER RESCUE OPERATIONS. RESCUE VEST AND HARNESS SET Technical Area The invention relates to the field of marine safety equipment and rescue devices, more specifically water 5 surface rescue operations, helicopter lifts and emergency response Inflatable life jackets and personal flotation devices designed for use in their duties. and relates to the field of integration of body harnesses. The invention is internationally recognized. Patent Classification (IPC) B63C 9 / 00 (surface rescue devices; life jackets, (Lifting harnesses or similar personal flotation devices) are classified in this category. 10 The invention specifically concerns inflatable buoyancy contained within a closed-system outer casing structure. It has a balloon with a dual-mode inflation mechanism, both automatic and manual. equipped with a full-body harness, integrated with a helicopter. EN ISO 12402-3:2020 ensures safe and ergonomic use in lifting operations. 15 certified according to standards, with a minimum buoyancy capacity of 150N. It relates to a surface rescue kit. State of the Art Today, marine safety equipment and life jackets have been used in maritime, aviation and other industries for many years. They are of vital importance in military applications. Traditional life jackets protect the user from water. While using simple buoyancy materials to keep it afloat, modern systems use inflatable 20 balloons, with automatic triggering mechanisms and advanced material technologies They are equipped with [buoyancy control]. However, traditional life jackets generally only serve the buoyancy function. focusing on helicopter lifts, emergency rescue operations, and full body support. It is inadequate in tasks requiring it. 2 The current patent, US3771183A, describes two separate and non-communicative systems. This patent describes a life vest-type device consisting of a flotation cell. The cells are arranged in a cross-diagonal pattern, providing a stable swimming position. That is the aim. However, harness integration is not available, and helicopter lift support is lacking. It does not provide and does not have a closed-design outer casing structure. 5 Patent number US3103674A describes a device for military personnel with quick donning and doffing capabilities. It describes a life vest. It focuses on military combat scenarios and civilian rescue. Not suitable for operations requiring full body wrapping and modern CO₂ cylinder-based automatic operation. There is no inflation system. Patent number WO2004069648A1, an inflation system for inflatable life vests. It describes it. However, it focuses only on the inflation mechanism, not the harness. Its integration, closed-design outer casing structure, and complete recovery kit solution are not included. Patent number US9067658 describes an inflatable swimming vest with a minimalist design. It describes a sport designed for recreational use, not for professional purposes. Not suitable for rescue operations. Harness integration, automatic inflation system 15 and it does not have a buoyancy capacity of 150N. Purpose of the Invention The primary purpose of the invention is to create an inflatable lifeboat for use in water rescue operations. closed design with integrated vest and full body harness. Equipped with a dual-mode inflation mechanism and an outer casing structure, suitable for helicopter lift 20 The goal is to provide a rescue system that ensures safe and ergonomic use in operations. The system complies with EN ISO 12402-3:2020 standards and has a minimum buoyancy capacity of 150N. The product is manufactured in accordance with the 2016 / 425 EU directive and has a product lifespan of 10 years. Industrial Applicability The invention meets the criterion of industrial applicability under Article 57 of the European Patent Convention (EPC). The invention covers the manufacture of surface rescue systems and marine safety equipment. in the textile and inflatable products industry, and in the production of personal protective equipment. It is suitable for production and use in the industry. 3 Explanation of the Figures Figure 1 shows a general front perspective view of the rescue kit that is the subject of the invention.

Certified according to standards, with a minimum buoyancy capacity of 150N. It is a surface rescue kit. The life vest, the subject of the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, consists of two compartments. The first compartment... The closed system outer casing (1) is the second part buoyancy balloon (2). The outer casing (1) fabric is exposed to sunlight, 15 4 Made of polyamide Oxford fabric resistant to seawater and moisture, it is durable against natural external factors. Made of fabric. Floating balloon (Lung unit) (2) made of thermoplastic fabric high It is manufactured using frequency welded seams. The life jacket buoyancy balloon (2) shown in Figures 1 and 2 conforms to EN ISO 12402-3:2020 Standards. Manufactured and certified according to standards. The life jacket has a buoyancy of at least 150N. It has two usage options: automatic operation upon contact with water, or manual operation. It is located. The life vest shown in Figure 1 can be fitted with a 33g CO₂ cylinder (4) depending on the type of mechanism to be chosen. In addition to being able to be inflated automatically or manually, the oral tube (5) on the vest It can also be inflated thanks to this (Figure 1). Because the life vest has a closed design, 10 When used, it is sufficient to deflate it (release the air inside). Unlike other inflatable vests... There is no need to place the buoyancy balloon (2) into the case (1) as it is. The life vest one on the right and left sides of the chest area, and one on the right and left sides of the navel area.
